She can't change what's come before. But letting go could bring healing-and the rare love that comes once in a lifetime.

When Ohio pastry chef Jada Brooks and her two best friends restored the glorious Wayfair Inn, it was a boon to Sweet Lake-and to their own lives. Now Linnie and Cat are focused on private matters: one engaged, the other swept up in newlywed bliss. Jada has also begun looking to the future by dating widower Philip Kettering and forging a sudden, sweet bond with his six-year-old daughter.

But the past isn't finished with Jada. When a curious guest checks into the Wayfair, her delving questions stir Jada's guilt about the heartbreaking events that scarred the town seven years ago. The risks Jada must take by revealing the truth will test every assumption she's made about the meaning of family and the magic of enduring love.

"A cast of endearing, delightful, and sometimes hilarious characters, and the cozy setting of small-town Sweet Lake, Ohio, in The Comfort of Secrets, buffets a darker and poignant thread of suspense as unresolved past heartbreak reappears, testing friendships and family relationships alike. Toward the end, when the shocking truth is revealed, and lives are endangered, you will find yourself racing through the pages to the thoughtful and ultimately satisfying end." -Barbara Taylor Sissel, author of The Truth We Bury

"Poignant, honest, and filled with heart, The Comfort of Secrets has it all. With a natural talent for lyrical prose, Christine Nolfi sweeps you away. I adored traveling to the Wayfair Inn and visiting with its many colorful characters. The plot is rife with conflict including one woman's journey, a dose of romance, and a smoldering suspense sure to keep you devouring pages. Love, love, love this book!" -Heather Burch, bestselling author of One Lavender Ribbon and In the Light of the Garden

"In The Comfort of Secrets author Christine Nolfi returns us to many of the characters we loved in Sweet Lake, before her storytelling skills take us into new territory. Suspense and fear mix with hope and love as the reader is drawn deeper into the challenges Cat faces as secrets unfold. This is a surprise-filled page turner, right to the end. Brilliant!" -Patricia Sands, author of the Love in Provence series

"In this return to Sweet Lake's Wayfair Inn we revisit characters we know, learn more about them, and meet new ones. You will hurt and you will rejoice with Cat and all of the characters as they struggle with past trouble and present choices-sometimes making choices that defy expected common sense, yet resonate with heart and truth. A core truth is that living well is about who you choose to share your life with. By the end of The Comfort of Secrets you will feel part of a warm, triumphant hug celebrating life and love, including the scars that are part of what makes us who we are." -Grace Greene, author of The Happiness In Between and The Memory of Butterflies
